New York Democrats in q Pickle About
Temperance Legislation.
New YORK, March 25th.-Goyernor Hill
and the representatives OF the Democratic
party in the Legislature are getting be-
tween the devil and the deep sea as regards
temperance matters. Two days ago the
Democrats in the Senate arrayed them
selves solidly against the Vedder bill to tax
the sales of beverages. Yesterday the
members of the same party in the Lower
House voted almost as unit against high
license for New York and Brooklyn At
the same time at least forty of them put
themselves on record as being in favor of
extending the provisions of the Crosby bill
to all cities of $4,000 inhabitants and over.
There is growing impression that the
Governor would like to veto the Crosby bill
should it pass the Senate, which now seems
very probable, on the ground of special
legislation. By the time that the Crosby
bill is undergoing executive scrutiny, it is
more than probable this other temperance
measure-though Mr.. Vedder calls it pri-
marily tax measure-will have passed
the Senate and be in the hands of the As
sembly. Should the Governor decide to
veto the Crosby bill, the Republican ma
jority in the Lower House may take it into
their heads to rush forward the Vedder bill
and give Hill another opportunity to indi-
cate his temperance views.

Home of the Caesars.
ROME, March 25th.-Cardinal James Glib
bons, Archbishop of Baltimore, Md, to-
day formally took possession of the Basil
lea of Santa Marie, in Trastevere, as his tit
ular church. He was arrayed in splendid
robes of cardinal.
After the usual ceremonies were conclud-
ed Cardinal Gibbons, remaining seated and
wearing his beretta, expressed his gratitude
to the Pope, and rscited the early Catholic
history in America. He said For my
self, as citizen of the United States, and
without closing my eyes to our shortcom-
ings as a nation, say, with deep sense
of pride and gratitude, that l belong to a
country where the civil Government holds
over us the egis of its protection without
interfering with Us III the Legitimate exer-
else of our sublime mission as ministers of
the Gospel OF Christ. Our country has
liberty without license, and authority with
out despoiism. She rears no wall to eX-
clude the stranger from coming among u.s.
She has few frowning Notifications to repel
the invader, for she is at peace with all the
world. She rests secure in the conscious
ness of her strength and her good will to-
ward all. Her harbors are open to welcome
the honest emigrant who comes to advance
his temporal interests and find peaceful
home. But, while we are acknowledged to
have a free Government, perhaps we do not
deserve the credit that belongs to us for
having also strong Government. Yes,
our nation is strong, and her strength lies,
under the overruling guidance of Provi-
dence, in the majesty and supremacy of
the law, in the loyalty of her citizens, and
in the affection of her people for her free
institutions. There are, indeed, grave
social problems now engaging the earnest
attention of the citizens of the United
States. but l have no doubt that, with
Gods blessing, these problems will be
solved by the calm judgment and sound
sense of the American people, without vio-
lence or revolution, or any injury to indi-
vidual rights

construction of which ludicrous incident
recently occurred. A messenger, Just after

route agent to take the next run out again
when he replied that he couldn't do it
that he was all " knocked out meaning,
thereby, worn out. The route agent, in re-
porting the matter to the Superintendent,
Stated that the messenger refused to take
the run on account of having been worsted
in a fight. When the messenger was called
up before the Superintendent and the
situation explained, good laugh was in
dulged in at the expense of the r. A., who
will doubtless hereafter bear in mind that

The President Knocks Mayor Harrison
Out in the bird Round.
CHICAGO, March 25th.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison has again declined the Demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor of Chicago,
and this time he declares his decision is
final. He sent out notice to the Demo-
cratic City Central Committee for special
meeting this afternoon, when he read a
prepared letter, outlining his purpose and
the reasons which actuated him to this
course. He openly declares that he has
been opposed by the representatives of the
Administration at Washington, and has
also been charged with treachery to politi-
cal friends. For these reasons he will not
be candidate. The letter states that at
the Convention he was carried away by the
enthusiasm of the moment and decided to
accept. He spoke of the endless abuse he
had been subjected to by the press
for years, which he bore with comparative
equanimity because his personal honor
was never attacked but now being accused
of betraying his friends the situation was
unbearable, and life too short in which to
undertake to set himself right. After de-
claring that knowing well the consequence
of his action, which will be to forever bar
him from future political honors, he must
irrevocably withdraw his name fron the
head of the ticket.
The Mayor says The confidential ad-
wiser in Chicago of the President of the
United States has taken the public position
that l should be defeated in the interest of
the National Administration. The three
newspapers which are organs of the Presi-
dent in Chicago have attacked me since nv
nomination and urged my defeat. This
convinces me that the President does not
desire me to be elected I therefore re-
spectfully suggest that you call into con-
sultation with you the gentlemen who are
known to be advisers here of the Federal
Administration and nominate ticket
which will command their support
The charge of treachery made in the let
ter has reference to Dewitt G.. Cregier, for
mer City Superintendent of Public Works,
and who was urged for the nomination
upon the theory that Harrison would not
accept another nomination. What course
the Democratic party will now pursue is
not stated. Some of the party men declare
that Harrison cannot resign now, and will
run to make the race, while others intimate
that a new man-Will be named

MEXICO.
The Administration Accused of Favoring
American Industries.

Cry OF MEXICO (via Galveston), March
25th-A section of the press of this coun-
try is attacking the Administration on the
ground that it favors too strongly Ameri-
can interests in giving special encourage
ment to the construction of railway lines
from the United States, and not doing
enough in the direction of building inter-
ocean lines. The complaint is made that
in the new tariff the reduction on cotton
cloths and print cloths is too heavy, and
will cause damage to the manufacturing
interests of Mexico. On the other hand,
influential newspapers consider that the
reductions made in the duties which go
into effect July 1st will do much good, by
improving the trade in many articles now
taxed at prohibitory rates, and in the case
of cotton goods create healthy competi-
ton.

Moore-Hopkins breach of promise case the
first part of the afternoon was taken up
with agreement of counsel as to the in
sructions to the jury, and upon the calling
of the jury at 1:30 the case was submitted,
without further argument, on the written
instructions to the jury by the attorneys of
plaintiff and defendant. The Judge then
charged the jury and the case was formally
submitted. The defense relied solely on
the release previously mentioned The
Court strongly instructed the jury on the
subject Of the release, holding that if the
jury believed the release to have been de
iyered they must consider it q valid de-
fense. The jury then retired.
Delmas raised the point that the release
on which the defense rested had been exc
cuted by Mrs. II. A. Moore, spelled with
one 20 while the paper purported to be
by Hattie A. Moore. The Judge refused to
recall the jury. At three minutes before 3
the jury returned and announced their YER

Mrs. Moore was not in Court when the
verdict was announced, neither was the de-
